Malamanera

FERNANDOCOSTA's 'Malamanera' is a gritty, unfiltered portrayal of urban life, filled with vivid imagery and raw emotion. The song opens with a reference to 'roncito sabor madera,' a type of rum, setting the tone for a narrative steeped in street culture. The artist paints a picture of a morning that is beautiful only when someone is waiting for you, hinting at the importance of human connection amidst the chaos of city life.

The lyrics delve into the complexities of relationships and survival in a harsh environment. The 'Gitana canastera' with 'ojos de pantera' symbolizes a fierce, independent woman who is always on the move, never confined to one place. This imagery is juxtaposed with the artist's own struggles, as he mentions searching for 'campanilla' (a reference to Tinkerbell) in his wallet, symbolizing a lost sense of magic or hope. The mention of 'ratas de alcantarilla' and 'predators riñonera' further emphasizes the dangers and predatory nature of the streets.

FERNANDOCOSTA also critiques societal structures, calling out the facade of democracy and the corrupt nature of politics with lines like 'Spain is gangsta shit, we are politics mafia.' The song is a commentary on the disillusionment with societal norms and the harsh realities faced by those living on the fringes. The artist's raw delivery and unapologetic language serve to underscore the authenticity of his experiences, making 'Malamanera' a powerful narrative of resilience and survival in an unforgiving world.
